Dear APL Community,
Happy Holidays from all of us here at APL! As we continue into this
school year, we certainly have a lot to be thankful for. This year,
we have over 60 learners across our K-8 student body who are led by an
incredibly dedicated and talented group of teachers and
paraprofessionals. We’re also excited to continue developing strong
community partnerships with groups such as Broadway Bound, YMCA and Museo
Art Academy that bring tremendous enrichment opportunities to our
students. It is wonderful to see the program here at APL thriving and
we thank all of you for your ongoing support.

On behalf of the staff, families and Board of Directors at APL – I wish you
a very Happy Thanksgiving and a great holiday season.

We hope you can join us for this exciting
evening where we will be honoring Jimmy Nixon and Broadway Bound and
recognizing Friends of APL!

Living Our Mission:

This coming December 1st, APL is hosting our firstDance
for the middle school and 4/5 students.

Budding Philanthropist Anna Anderson from the middle
school classroom, who conceived of the event, raised over $1000 to
support the APL dance. The Steele family also put
proceeds from their Halloween Haunted House towards this event. We
look forward to an exciting evening for these students!

For Halloween, APL's spirit of community was truly embraced when all of
the classrooms participated in a fund drive for Unicef --
raising more than $137.00.

We are dedicated to ensuring every student’s success through
accelerated academic progress, social development, character building and
community involvement!

Theater: Jimmy Nixon, of Broadway Bound, is working
with the students to put on two productions this coming Spring: 'You're a
Good Man Charlie Brown' and ' Beauty and the Beast.' Students have
been practicing weekly and intend to go see a performance of Annie in
January to see peers in action and witness the goals towards which they
are working this coming April - to put on a live production!
